I Don't Need A Stinkin' Drone

Description

This is currently the only way to ascend the summer tower without a drone. I bet someone with some real cojones could also free climb this route (5.11-12 R).

Start on the east side of the tower, and free climb on extremely chossy, volcanic tuff toward the neck of the tower (5.4 PG-13). Spectres and slings protect this section (poorly). Once at the neck, aid your way to a small ledge (A2). From the ledge, free climb on better rock (still questionable) and a bit runout to the summit (5.6).

Rappel south from a bolted anchor.

Protection

3 rivet hangers or nuts and a select rack of peckers, Spectres, Lost Arrows, and z-pins (my MVP). Also bring a select single set of cams up to BD C4 #5 with tri-cams. Screamers are also advised.
